Equality and human rights are not self evident truths. We hold these truths to be sacred and unalienable. That was the truth. That's why the Declaration grounded the unalienable rights in the creator rather than state. The most honest declaration would have been 'we hold these truths to be divinely revealed.'- Vishal Mangalwadi,  The book that made your World,  Page 391

"We have no reason to be discouraged and cast down if the religion we profess is not popular and few agree with us. We must remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in this passage: ‘The gate is narrow’. Repentance, and faith in Christ, and holiness of life, have never been fashionable. The true flock of Christ has always been small. It must not move us to find that we are reckoned singular, and peculiar, and bigoted, and narrow minded. This is the ‘narrow way’. Surely it is better to enter into eternal life with a few, than to go to ‘destruction’ with a great company" - J.C.Ryle

Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way
God is going to answer your prayer.
     --Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
      (In Martin H. Manser's _The Westminster Collection
       of Christian Quotations_ [2001], "Prayer, Answer To")

God will always answer our prayers; but he will
answer them in his way, and his way will be
the way of perfect love.
Often if he answered our prayer, as we at the moment
desire, it would be the worst thing possible for us,
for in our ignorance we often ask for gifts which
would be our ruin. --William Barclay (1907-1978)
      (In Martin H. Manser's _The Westminster Collection
       of Christian Quotations_ [2001], "Prayer, Answers To")
